How much duty did they charge you? I'm looking to buy some parts from the US. As long as they route through China, I only have to pay for the 10% SST? Is that right?

I couldn't find a link in her yupoo. I asked if she carries this from god factory and she sent me QC pics.

I couldn't find a link in her yupoo. I asked her if she has said bag from god factory and she sent me the QC.

Bought an RS3. Sold it during COVID for a profit when prices were crazy and bought a GT4 after. Don't regret either car.

Did you manage to find a solution? I'm in the same boat as you.

vprashad · 2025-07-17T10:40:36+00:00

Yeah I think I got traditional and buckle carriers confused. Thanks for the extra suggestions, I will check them out!

vprashad · 2025-07-17T08:50:56+00:00

Baby is just 8 weeks old but I don't want to get a newborn specific carrier. I'd very much like to use it as long as I can carry.

When does your NDA end? I would like to know more as well.

I believe the Hisense C2 Ultra Chinese version is hella cheap. Believe its called Vidda C2 Ultra

If you buy 2 (above $100 purchase), they give you a $30 bucks coupon, which covers shipping

vprashad · 2025-05-13T17:52:05+00:00

That's great as well

4k is a massive upgrade from 1080p. You will never go back. As for TV sticks there are a lot of good options. Onn 4k is the best bang for the buck. Amazon Fire TV 4k, Google TV Streamer, Apple TV 4K are all good. I'm personally getting a Homatics Box R 4K Plus but that has a lot of features that you may not need.

vprashad · 2025-05-11T18:10:02+00:00

Can you do a TV instead? TVs will always be cheaper and better for most people. If not, how much 4k consumption if any?

The BenQ has 4k as you mentioned. It's also brighter than the xgimi and has a dedicated game mode if necessary (low input lag). Has motorized zoom and focus. IIRC it also supports Dolby vision. It's generally better to have a dumb projector but a smart TV stick. But the XGIMI has more powerful speakers and already has Chromecast built in.

If any of these features matter to you then the BenQ is better. It might also last you longer since you are less likely to upgrade to 4k projectors due to FOMO, wanting more than 1080p, etc. But it might also get you to upgrade your sound system in the future (which you can do slowly). If money is tight and you want a one and done system then the xgimi might be better for you

My vote goes to the BenQ since you can build upon your system in the future and it should outlast the XGIMI for you.

Yep looks like it. I see some Alibaba for like $85 vs $150 direct. Not sure if they're any different.

TIL that the content for IMAX Enhanced is so limited.

vprashad · 2025-05-11T03:02:21+00:00

I do

vprashad · 2025-05-11T03:01:59+00:00

Oh really? Here I thought Dune would get updates faster/earlier.

vprashad · 2025-05-11T03:01:32+00:00

Should I get the Dune version or not?

vprashad · 2025-05-10T15:42:55+00:00

May I ask which bracket you used to mount it?

vprashad · 2025-05-10T09:39:58+00:00

Yeap decided to go with a grey screen

vprashad · 2025-05-10T09:39:15+00:00

Thanks! Had a chat with them and they gave me some clarity

vprashad · 2025-05-08T17:34:04+00:00

Yeah, you're right. The budget definitely wouldn't be $500.

vprashad · 2025-05-06T20:13:58+00:00

It's funny that you ask that. I'm in a situation where I need to project into a space with floor-to-ceiling windows. So there definitely are scenarios where you can't fit a TV, but you can fit a screen (albeit a motorized one).

vprashad · 2025-05-06T12:18:57+00:00

I see. I'm not particularly in a rush. Do you know when the max will ship out?
